Title: Evaluation Of Butt Fusion Polyethylene Gas Pipe Using A Ppi-Proposed Generic Joining Procedure
Author: Jim Craig

Abstract: In 1994, representatives of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Office of Pipeline Safety requested that the Plastics Pipe Institute assist in promoting greater uniformity in the joining procedures utilized by gas utilities in the butt fusion of polyethylene (P.E.) gas piping products. DOT reported that it had encountered a proliferation of similar but slightly varying joining procedures from individual P.E. pipe producers. The slight differences in the various procedures made it more difficult for pipeline operators to qualify persons with appropriate training and experience in the use of these procedures, and more difficult for DOT to enforce the joining requirements in 49 C.F.R. 192.283 (Plastic pipe, qualifying joining procedures) of the Code of Federal Regulations.
